Description

See this patch:

http://grokbase.com/t/gg/k-9-mail/137crp6hfg/total-number-of-messages-in-a-folder-account

I would find this very useful. Having only the number of unread messages is not enough for my use.
Anything preventing to merge it?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked patch and the current folder/account message-count presentation in Thunderbird for Android. Confirm how the proposed total differs from the existing unread count; done means the total number of messages is shown for the relevant folder or account, with coverage for the affected behavior if the project has tests.
